This Wash cab has really blossomed in the last couple. Intense blue and blackberries, cassis, sweet spices, and a dose of vanilla hit the nose. All come over on the palate. Medium deep ruby. No browning. Soft entry, weighty center and a 4+ lapper finish. Didn't detect any tannins so probably at the top of its' game. Great juice. 90/89. 44 by the box.13.9% alc. WW

Had this yesterday at the club along with a bottle of 98 Duetche Willow Bend. Both of these suckers are at the dead top of their game. If you have them in the cellar strongly suggest popping the cork in the next year. WW

Opened the last bottle of my 6-pack today. Everybody was busy so just the guys at the bar, the staff and the weener knocked off the last of this outstanding bottle of juice. Nose seemed to have expanded, the center firmed up and the finish was a solid 4&1/2 lapper. Have to kick this baby up to a solid 92. WW
